What I got Wrong About Decaf

[@ThunderGoatz]

Better to do than to not, thats for sure. But a massive channel like James Hoff should have the mind to reach out to the reasearchers during the intial video planning and discovery stage.

[@Kane0123]

​@@HariSeldon.​​ Corrections and addenda *ARE* what science does.... Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day.

[@MrLlollollo]

@@ThunderGoatz In an ideal world with infinite time and resource, I'm sure the video would be higher quality and more accurate. But in reality, it may have taken much longer for James and in turn ourselves to learn the truth if the intial video wasn't made. Who knows how long it would have taken for James to be in contact with Dr Samo if the initial video wasn't published. Science is trial and error, and while we can do our best to plan and discover there will always be errors and more trials.

[@just_limerence]

This is why I love scientific communities like this because an essay that essentially boils down to "You're wrong" is accepted, appreciated, and celebrated instead of leading to petty online fights. The more information we know, the better, thanks for putting this video out to continue the knowledge that's out there about decaf!

[@SamBrownBaudot]

Hear, hear.

[@ThisisCitrus]

That's just how normal, educated adults are. Even in normal life. The internet has just perpetuated the "angry kid" vibe that if you tell they're wrong its a fight.

[@BEEFDEAD]

For full effect, the online fight would lead with "your wrong". But otherwise in agreement.

[@SamBrownBaudot]

Seriously! I love coffee, but the caffeine hits me harder than most folks. I need to go decaf a couple weeks out of every few months, to reset. And taper off of standard coffee by mixing in more and more decaf. Getting quality info on making delicious decaf is priceless.

[@jace75]

Admitting errors and addressing them is absolutely the right thing to do. As a scientist in industry, I and my peers (should) hold ourselves to high standards but mistakes do get made. It happens and there's a temptation to continually berate ourselves over it. Providing there are no serious outcomes from that error then it's a learning experience, we correct and we move on, hopefully improved. There were no serious outcomes here. Thank you (and the team) for these videos.

[@apocalypse487]

Even if there are serious consequences, still a learning experience.

[@just_limerence]

Something I was taught in college when doing research papers was "There's nothing wrong about being wrong" (within reason, obviously). Being wrong like this lets someone else who is more educated step in and teach you information you were missing, which should ALWAYS be the goal. We're all here to be super nit-picky about hot brown bean juice, and this furthers that knowledge quest and I for one am here for it

[@jace75]

[@BigHenFor]

​@@jace75It's part of the process of learning. There's no such thing as the home run in learning. You can't get it right first time unless you already have the knowledge to do so. So you have to get things wrong to identify the gaps in your knowledge. If you can accept that, it will give you back the joy in experimenting. Allow yourself the room to learn more by embracing the second best teacher after a good storyteller, and that's failure. If you don't fail, if you don't ask questions of your failures, you're not going anywhere. You're actually not growing. You become stuck. Don't let fear or ego cheat you of the joy of being surprised in a nice way. Stay curious. Stay open to constructive critique It will keep you young.

As a decaf drinker, medically required, these few videos have been nice. I've had a similar experience in having to grind a bit finer to get best results, but only a tiny bit finer. Can not wait for the process plant video(s)!

[@myname-mz3lo]

same here i use filters that have a restricted flow . because alot of precision filters are for lighter roasts and allow faster flow . but some restrict flow for darker roasts . those are great for decaf since you can then grind coarser to get in the right time and ratio . meaning you will get less bitter shots (finer grind can often over extract). made my decaf shots sweet without needing to make 20g shots haha

[@Martiger]

It is nice that you went back and added the correction information to the decaf video, with it below the fold, not as many people are going to notice it on both desktop and mobile. Perhaps a pinned comment might be helpful in showing greater transparency. Otherwise love the work and the channel, all of you put a lot of love and effort into it and it shows! :D

[@Quirkiest]

My regular cafe here in Melbourne Australia just closed down so I went to a new one today. Ordered my decaf latte and watched as the barista fossicked around in the shelf above the grinder and eventually found the Tupperware container full of pre-ground decaf coffee. A little part of me just dies whenever I witness that...anyone else with me? And yes the coffee was banal to put it nicely. Keep up the good work @James Hoffman ... we need a quiet revolution...

[@jhowell1321]

I have never witnessed that but I would have walked out! Grind FRESH! Every time!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Our local roasteries and coffee shops take decaf just as seriously, and make some seriously good drinks. But there’s an influx of new baristas (some with serious attitude) lately and the drinks aren’t very good. Totally understand needing time to learn, but it’s driving me to finally start trying my hand at making good decaf drinks at home. I’m so thankful for having found this channel and thrilled that James is doing a series on decaf! 🎉😍

[@Murmelthier]

Thank you! Since I recently had to switch to decaf because of some medication I need to take, I am very very grateful for every video you make about it. Even more so in times where it's becoming harder to trust online sources and search engines by the day.

[@johnstevenson2405]

I've recently returned to home espresso after a long spell with just a moka pot (which I've learned from James I was using very wrongly, hey ho) and I found the decaf video really interesting because as a side effect of cancer treatment I seem to have become extremely sensitive to caffeine. I'm therefore going through the triple challenge of relearning espresso brewing, learning about all the things that have been invented since I was last paying attention (WDT tools, levellers, puck screens, weighing to 0.1g etc etc etc) AND getting to grips with decaf. It's been great fun, much to the bemusement of my non-coffee-drinking wife, but I'm still not very happy with the shots I'm pulling, so I'm really keen to hear more about decaf and especially decaf brewing techniques. Props for the corrections. It's a sign of a true seeker and propagator of knowledge to admit and correct your mistakes.

[@darkhampos]

Hey James, after your positive decaf video I went and bought some good quality decaf green beans, gave them a nice and light roast in my home setup, and the result was a very sweet, chocolatey and smooth cup. A lot better than I had imagined. Now I can enjoy coffee in the evenings as well!

[@anitapaulsen3282]

Awesome about the decaf factory tours! So excited! I found a local roaster that roasts light, medium, and dark roasts. They invite people to watch their roasting process every Thursday and they sell beans by the pound. They had a light medium decaf and because I no longer have a grinder had him grind it for me. He asked how I was going to brew it so he could choose the right grind size. He obviously took many factors into consideration: the fact that it was decaf, light medium roast, and would brew pour over because when I got home I was shocked to see that it was much finer than I thought it should be, but it brewed perfectly. So what you said about grinding decaf finer is my experience as well.

[@ianguile7214]

Thank you for being serious about journalistic integrity. So many channels would add a "corrections" at the bottom of the description in a video.

[@mrfish9876]

Doing corrections in the description comments, is still a lot better than ignoring mistakes entirely. But yeah a follow up vid is even better.

[@tomdupree2758]

My dad is in a similar boat, half caf, he had always wondered why there aren't Roasters making blends for custom caffeine levels. Although now that I think about it I suspect you would get mechanical layering/separation in the bag as well as the challenge of two different extraction profiles. Maybe a relatively darker roast on the caffeinated beans and relatively lighter roast on the decaf?

i WAS not a coffee drinker, we went to Switzerland and Italy, when we came back, I finally learned how to use the french presses we already owned, then bought a breville bambino; my wife can only drink decaf, i never drink or eat caffeine products so WE do only decaf. I have joined a club that sends me a pound of decaf from different sources every 1.5 weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed your decaf info and your ' i don't like coffee' episodel that was me before europe. I try most of these beans in the french press as well as the expresso maker. I usually prefer a cappuccino over an expresso, but try to try new coffees all 3 ways; french drip, expresso and cappuccino. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me and been very entertaining. Some day i probably will have 15-20 coffees, set out in a double blind taste test......

[@rkhayden]

1:02 Is it really the case that the decaffeination process damages the coffee? It changes the coffee, but so does roasting, so does washing the beans. What distinguishes decaffeination as a damaging process compared to all the other processes that change the flavour and structure of coffee beans?

[@Heisenbergize]

I agree, it's ridiculous to ask James to call this "damage". Roasting "damages" the raw beans, yet it has some use, just as the decaf process has. "Damage" is just an unscientific way to add emotion and make it sound bad without reason.

"We will do a better job" But like posting a video with corrected information is already doing a really incredible job. And also gives me something to watch this morning

[@hickoco7231]

Barriers of entry for decaf drinkers are high, 1) stigma 2) limited brewing info specifically for decaf (it brews differently, in my limited experience, but limited experience is where we start). 3) availability of specialty decaf (most local roasters make decaf to appeal to dark roast coffee drinkers, finding anything else is difficult, requires postage costs etc) 4) freshness issues exacerbating the problems ... a lot of this leads to offputting experience... but decaf is all we have.

[@zsvrljuga1]
